This event will be targeted towards milsim airsofters looking to engage in a more Eastwind style of play. The event is designed to develop basic field sustenance skills, patrolling techniques, and land navigation abilities.
What:
A weekend of fieldcraft challenges and patrolling to help units better prepare themselves for the East Wind battlefield. Attendees will be broken up into small patrols and will be given a series of non-direct action combat related missions. Individual attendees are encouraged to PM me with specific personal goals that they would like to work on so that we can arrange the event to provide the maximum benefits to all who attend.
When:
Saturday December 1 starting at 09:00, ending on Sunday December 2nd at around 13:00.
Where: Roscommon State Forest Area. Rendezvous point TBD.
How much $?
Cost for this event is $25 and includes meals.
What do attendees need to bring?
This course is taught “on the march” so attendees will need to have the following:
Rucksack or Veshmeshok
Sleeping gear
Sleeping pad
Shelter half, plasch or bivy bag
Rain gear (dependent on forecast)
Properly fitted boots
Properly fitted uniform
compass
Red filtered flashlight
Mess kit and silverware
Capacity to carry a minimum of 2 liters of water on your person
Boo boo kit (Bandaids, ibuprofen, antacids, allergy meds, whatever)
Spare pair of socks
Clothing appropriate to the weather
Pen and paper (suggest waterproof pad and a pencil)
High-vis (blaze orange) cap or vest
EVERYTHING you will be using for the weekend must be packed in your rucksack or worn on your person.
Civilian alternatives to required items are permitted - but they must be reliable in the field.
What should attendees expect?
This event will be run in the field so you’ll be starting off at the staging area and pushing out immediately from there. Patrols will have mission sets that will allow each individual in the patrol as well as the patrol as a whole to maximize learning during the course of the weekend.
Who should attend?
This course is open to anyone of reasonable fitness who is interested in improving their fieldcraft regardless of if they ever intend to attend East Wind.

Notes specific to MiA
This isn't really an airsoft event, which is why I didn't break off and make a separate event thread for it. If you'd rather I take that approach and stop bumping the Eastwind thread, feel free to shove this post off to the Event Planning board.
